The provincial civil service representatives have rejected outright the proposed civil service reforms, claiming that facts have been distorted, leading to compromised provincial autonomy, good governance and service delivery.
Demanding provincial civil service reforms in line with the Constitution, the provincial service officers say the Pakistan Administrative Service (PAS) officers were even compromising the authority of the chief ministers as well as speakers of all four provincial assemblies. They demanded the chief secretaries be selected from the provincial service officers.
